After last week's rather wasteful shopping trip and cobbled together meal plan I'm back in the game this week with a nicely organised meal plan which was planned in advance as it should be.We seem to have a really busy week this week so I suspect there'll be a bit of chopping and changing but we have enough in that we should be able to get away with that without having to pop to the shop.Here's what we have planned.... MondayI had some prawns in the freezer so I made a quick prawn curry tonight for tea although I may have cheated a teeny bit as I used two of the jars of curry … [Read more...]

Just putting this out there – I really don’t like Mother’s Day very much….
I'm not a huge fan of Mother's Day.Don't get me wrong, I'm not averse to being pampered for the day and I'm more than OK with having the kids make me homemade cards and give me breakfast in bed but Mother's Day just isn't the same since my Mum died 10 years ago this year.To some, Mothers Day is just one not particularly important day but to someone like me who's lost a mother, it's a day (with a very long build up to it) that makes me focus on what I've lost and what I don't have any more.Top of the list of the reasons why Mothers Day isn't a great time for me is the constant … [Read more...]
What we’re eating this week {1st March 2015}….
You know how I always say that the most important part of meal planning is the few minutes that you spend before you go shopping working out what you have in, what you'll be eating the next week and writing a shopping list?Well, this week I didn't do any of that before I went shopping!In my defence, I always to my shopping on a Friday evening because (a) that's the only time that I'm free to go without the kids over the weekend and (b) my cupboards are looking a bit like mother Hubbards by then. I had a really busy afternoon on Friday so I didn't get chance to even boil the kettle let … [Read more...]
What we’re eating this week {23rd February 2015}….
Am I the only person who finds school holidays a nightmare as far as meal planning goes?Things never seem to go according to plan when the kids are off school - there's last minute sleepovers, days out that interfere with tea time, extra friends for tea, kids not wanting to come home at tea time and all sorts of other things sent to try my meal planning skills (and budget)!All good stuff and I wouldn't want to change the way we spend our school holidays in any way but it definitely makes it harder to stick to meal planning (well it does for me anyway).But that was last week! … [Read more...]

What we’re eating this week {9th February 2015}….
I usually post my weekly meal plan over on Meal Planning Made Easy but today I thought I'd bore you all share it over here with you all. We didn't stick to our plan very well at all last week but I'm not overly bothered as we were all ill and we didn't break the budget because we were all about dippy egg and soldiers or soup - the most adventurous we got was egg fried rice I think!We're all feeling lots better now but still a bit washed out and tired so this week, it's comfort food all the way for us.... MondayTonight we're having homemade corned beef and potato pie - I made some … [Read more...]
